TIWANAKU - PUMA PUNKU, The cradle of andean civilizations

Mark_M, Sep 2026

A terrific tour!

We spent a lovely day with David learning about the pre-Inca ruins of Tiwanaku and the strikingly different Puma Punku ruins. His depth of knowledge and easy to understand explanations were interesting and informative. But it did not stop there. He discussed the local Aymara culture, compared the Western and Aymara understandings of the world. and the recent history of Bolivia. In addition to being a guide, he a musician, playing several local instruments. Very informative and educational(not boring) day - I will be thinking about some of the things David said for a long time. Thank you David for an outstanding tour.

Full Day Puma Punku Tiwanaku The Alien Culture Shared Service

Carl_F, May 2025

Ancient aliens? I think not.

Easy walk with a minimal amount of uphill and a minimal amount of stairs. You begin in Tiwanaku, see the whole complex, then visit the museums and seethe 7 meter (22 foot) tall obelisk unearthed at the sight. Then you go to Puma Punku, which is not a large site. See the H blocks and other oddly bored stones. Just remember a fair portion of the tour is getting to and from the sight.

Know before you go

The ruins at Tiwanaku are a must-see for first-time visitors as well as history and archaeology buffs.
Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking over uneven surfaces, and bring sunblock and warm clothes.
At 13,000 feet (almost 4,000 meters) above sea level, the high altitude can be a problem for many visitors, so take it easy until you’re properly acclimated.
